Trees of Joy

Some of us coaches accepted a challenge a couple weeks ago to make a card using a stamp from our Holiday Mini. I just got in my back order a few days earlier and I wanted to play with our Winter Hills die set. This card kinda met what I was envisioning but still is off a bit. I'm not sure what I don't like about the card.

It could be that I should have used the fine tip of my personal embossing pen instead of the chisel tip. Or that I didn't pop up the front tree enough as it blends in with the back two. What do you think?

I used my PanPastels to color the sky, some white for the moon (looks like it's in a mist) and a bit of yellow around it. A splatter of Silver Silk for snow flakes.

I die cut the Joy from the Snapshot Frames die set then layered it on our new Brush Silver card stock. A few bit of the Holiday Elements sequins for fun. Did you notice... no stamping?
